Prepare all vegetables by washing and cutting them as specified: julienne the carrot and red bell pepper, shred the cabbage, and rinse the bean sprouts.
In a mixing bowl, combine the carrot, cabbage, red bell pepper, bean sprouts, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, green onions, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Take one rice paper wrapper and immerse it in the warm water for about 10 seconds or until it becomes soft and pliable.
Lay the softened rice paper on a clean, damp kitchen towel or a cutting board. Add about 1 tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the center of the rice paper.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly to form a roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the spring rolls, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the spring rolls, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the mini spring rolls warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
